At this point, I wonder what Universal will do with JP for 4K since it's right around the corner. Surely they must be doing something.

I have a feeling that's the reason they didn't do new masters for the Back To The Future films and JP. They're saving that 4K and a new anniversary.

Just guessing though. Maby not. It's not like they care about their catalogue titles anyway. The difference between them and WB is stark. Even Fox. The new Fox classics releases look better than any catalogue title Universal has put out. Have you seen Weird Science? Damn.

That's why the DTS DVD is so prized. It has the original DTS mix from the theatre prints which also ended up on the DTS Laserdisc release.

What was the faulty part of the track. I just gave a listen to the DTS DVD I got, and the damn t-rex roar is only coming from the center channel again. I assume I got the first release, and I assume there is no way to tell which copies have the faulty track?

So what's the word on the new JP Steelbook release coming on May 6, 2014? While it will probably just be the same filtered version we already have, I hope not. The price is better and I really like the artwork.

All of Universal's "comic book" SteelBooks are just repackagings. It will be the same old disc inside. There is zero chance of a remaster.
